This year the committee will be looking at a variety of metrics, Jeff Goodman said recently they would have access to the new NET rankings, KPI Rankings, KenPom, Sagarin, BPI and Strength of Record.
Figured we could use this thread to keep track of the resume throughout the season.
KPI 49th http://www.kpisports.net/2019kpi-dimbb/
NET 67th https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings
KenPom 44th https://kenpom.com/
Sagarin 28th https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaab/sagarin/
BPI 36th http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/bpi/page/2
SOR 57th http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/resume/page/3
Actually in a decent spot, but it is bittersweet considering we lost both games virtually on buzzer beaters. ESPN's BPI actually has us as a favorite in all of our remaining games but 3.
@ Cincy
@ Houston
@ Temple
I am sure we will drop some of the other games we are favorite in, but I think it will be very important to try and grab one of those road games for a resume booster.

3-7 Update
Before tonight's big game vs Cincy which I will also be at, driving over from Tampa hoping the traffic won't be too awful.
2-0 since the last update including our biggest ever win on the road vs #8 Houston.
While we have the profile of a team that is certainly in the tourney, I do think if we were to go 0-3 (losses to Cincy, Temple, Memphis/Wichita) it could get dicey because you would have to remember all our numbers would drop significantly. We also do have to remember there will be some bid stealers eating up some of those at large bids that look like they are there now.
If any of these teams don't win their conference tournament another team will take up an existing at-large bid.
A10: VCU
American: If say Memphis win the conference tourney a home that would steal a Bid.
MAC: Buffalo
Southern: Wofford
OVC: Belmont
WCC: Gonzaga
Pac12: Washington
Mountain West: Nevada/Utah State
This doesn't include if a team in one of the bigger conference ended up winning their conference and stealing a bid. Basically my point is let's please get one more in so we will for sure be in, another win will also definitely get us out of any sort of First Four in Dayton game which would be terrible.

Bracket matrix which keeps track of over 100 different projected brackets has us in 127 out of 127 brackets right now. The seeds range from 11 to 7.
I think a 7 seed is very realistic if we can pick up a few more wins starting tonight.
Go Knights!
